In 2002 Professor Emerita, Isabelle Hyman, -- who personally knew Marcel Breuer, architect of New York's Whitney Museum, Cleveland's Ameritrust Tower [2]and Atlanta's central library [3] -- had her monograph Marcel Breuer, Architect [4]:The Career And The Buildings [4] published. The book celebrated the 100 year anniversary of Marcel Breuer's 1902 birth. Thereafter, in 2007-08, The U.S. National Building Museum [5] ran an exhibition, curated by Susan Piedmont-Palladino, called Marcel Breuer: Design and Architecture. Now coming up later this year through 2010, Barry Bergdoll, Professor @ Columbia University [6] and Chief Curator of Architecture @ MoMa [6] [The Museum of Modern Art] will have his curated exhibition on display on the 6th Floor @ MoMA; that show being a retrospective on Breuer's Alma Mater, entitled Bauhaus 1919-1933: workshops for modernity [7].
This is all good news.
Nonetheless, the effort to raise communal awareness about the historical significance of Marcel Breuer's modernist sites -- whether in Cleveland, New York or Atlanta -- still remains an uphill battle. [continue reading [8]]
